The Raft executive committee, meeting here, adopted a resolution declaring that "under present con- ditions there is no room for con- tinuation of the merger talks." In another resolution, the Rafi leaders favored continued support of the present "national union gov- ernment," calling for continuing Rafi participation in the govern- ment "in view of the grave situa- tion and tasks ahead." The Rafi decision to end labor unity talks apparently was trig- gered by a "clarification" issued by Mapai's leadership, stating that, after the proposed merger, the three former separate par ties would maintain in the Knesset (Parliament) the same ratio of members they hold now in the house. Currently, the ratio includes 36 members from Mapai, 10 from Rafi and nine from Ahdut Avoda. In the opinion of the Rafi leaders, such a formula amounts to per- petuation of the present three- party system "under a different name."
